Our lunch began on a high note as we took advantage of the restaurant’s refreshing offer of any three classic cocktails for RM70.
A steal indeed, and even at RM24.90 each, the individual cocktails are still reasonably priced. The first thirst-quencher was Sangria, a delightful mix of brandy, rum, red wine, and fruits whilst the mug of Moscow Mule comprised vodka, lime juice, and ginger ale.
